As I see it this song is referring to the Priest/Pimp. It can also be interpreted more literally as a tank in the war the Dear Hunter is apparently fighting in, but the many references to God/church make it pretty obvious.
In addition, the chorus refers to how The Dear Hunter was drawn to The Dime like all the other men.
You've stained your skin and I won't stick around
long enough to count the hearts that hit the ground.
So long ago...was I one of them?
